“Our six and a half year old read this to me as soon as he was given it, then immediately read it again on his own, and had read it plenty of times since. Probably his favourite book so far. He wants to go to the garden, hide his teddy in our garden, and if asked what book shall we read, it’s always this one. Great for younger and a bit older children.”
“To say my niece enjoyed this book is an understatement…she LOVES it. The story, the colours, the photographs – all contribute to its beauty and appeal. I initially thought the paperback style and size of the book wouldn’t be as easy to read with a 14 month old, but it actually made the experience unique because we could fold the pages back together and delve into the pictures looking for Bob the Bear. I really hope you create more like this Alice Chambers! Highly recommend and good price.”
“Oh, what a gem of a book! We read many books together in our house at bedtime, before tea, in the mornings in fact many times of the day! But we are new to books like this one with real-life images as part of the story. I believe it makes the book much more engaging, especially to my younger 3 year old.
With its’ simple text, in easy to read paragraphs, my 5 year old was able to read along. She decided it would be a great book to take on a teddy bears picnic in the Summer!
We thoroughly enjoy reading about Bob the Bear, he’s now a firm favourite on our bookshelf. We can’t wait for future books in the series!
It would make an excellent Christmas gift for children in the preschool age bracket. Maybe also get them their own bear to read along with!”
“What I love about young children is that when they find a book they love they’ll ask for it time and time again for their bedtime story. This is a new addition to our household and we love the fact it gets the children asking questions, talking about the photos and because it’s all real life settings it seems so much more real to them. They think Bob is 100% real and want to invite him over for Christmas dinner! A great book for under 4s.”
“What a brilliant book for the little ones, a real gem! I read this with my grandaughter aged 4 and she was absolutely enchanted.”
“Perfect for bedtime stories for under fives! Such a fun story.”
“My 6 year old loves this book and finds it really funny. It’s also perfect for him to read himself which is lovely to hear as he laughs along reading! The sequencing pictures at the end are great too to get children talking about the story.”
